Mustache Rides for Jesus

American's United for the Seperation of Church and State, has released interesting information of the Texas School Board that Texas net roots is either too lazy or stupid to get out. http://blog.au.org/2007/08/09/trouble-in-texas-school-board-chairman-seeks-

<"The Texas Freedom Network (TFN) on Tuesday revealed a side of "intelligent design" proponents rarely seen by the public at large. The group released a transcript and recording of an extraordinarily candid speech given in 2005 by recently named State Board of Education Chairman Ron McLeroy.

McLeroy told a gathering at Grace Bible Church in Bryan, Texas, of his efforts to expunge evolution from the state's high school biology textbooks. "Back in November 2003, we finished [the]…adoption process for the biology textbooks in Texas…. I want to tell you all the arguments made by all the intelligent-design group, all the creationist intelligent design people, I can guarantee the other side heard exactly nothing," he said.

He went on, condemning other Christian board members for not following his lead....>

"McLeroy lamented the fact that he failed to convince fellow board members that "are good, strong Christians" to see it his way in 2003. Even though they were active in church, he said, they didn't even care that evolution conflicted with their Christian worldview. He was sure he would have gotten a few more votes if he'd just mentioned evolution ignores God."

I called Mavis B. Knight, a board member, (District 13 - Dallas) as dedicated to Jesus Christ as anyone I have encountered, but had to leave a message. I would like to know if he took her to the woodshead for Jesus. In fact, it would be interesting to know who he has been ministering to, and weather such stunts amount to violations of the Texas Open Meetings Act.

I will get back to you. In the meantime, here is the vita on Bro. McLeroy. Note his solid background in science if dentistry and elctrical engineering count as forming the basis of his anti-evolution views.

Ironically, The General was on the spot, as usual, to fix the problem where it counts: in Heaven.

Asking Jesus to kick some ass

Dr. Wiley S. Drake
Second Vice President, Southern Baptist Convention
Pastor, First Southern Baptist Church of Buena Park

Dear Dr. Drake,

Most pastors would panic upon learning that Americans United for the Separation of Church (AU) and State had filed an electioneering complaint with the IRS against them. Not you. You simply responded by coolly commanding your followers to call upon our Lord and Savior in imprecatory prayer, to cause AU press contact Joe Conn's teeth to fall out.

I understand that you support Mike Huckabee in his quest to be our next president. Indeed, it was your endorsement of Huckabee written on your church's letterhead that prompted AU to file it's complaint.

I also understand that you are an Ambassador for the Presidential Prayer Team, and as such, I assume you are employing the power of prayer to assist Huckabee. But have you considered how much more his campaign could be helped by imprecatory prayer. Imagine how voters would react to a hairless, toothless, boil infested Mitt Romney. And why stop there, why not ask God to make Mitt fart loudly and scratch himself during interviews. Heck, I can't wait to see Tim Russert squirm as he tries to explain that sharting live on Meet the Press is a savvy campaign move. How about you?

Heterosexually yours,

Gen. JC Christian, patriot
